The basic principle of the Animal Rights movement is that nonhuman animals deserve to live according to their own natures, free from harm, abuse, and exploitation. Advocates of animal rights try to extend the human circle beyond our species to include other animals, which are also capable of feeling pain, fear, hunger, thirst, loneliness, and kinship.

During the rest of the 20th century and beginning of 21st century people began to question the basic morals for animals after treatment from agriculture, entertainment, wildlife and science. Rather than using animals for entertainment, scientific testing, or hunting (food), animal rights activist fight to end the title of ‘property’. Animal welfare activists practice just the opposite. The commotion that has stirred upon these two approaches is the beating and neglect that has been going on upon these animals. Animals are being used for entertainment purposes. When you’re in the stand watching a circus or rodeo these animals are being abused to perform for the public, then confined in uncomfortable cages with no room to roam. These circus animals are being whipped, and shocked by electric prods...
